Yes we have yet another scheme for you lovely people. It is called Midnight Hour and trying to stick a little to the theme of the board I hope you all like it. Header, buttons and colors are all done by me.

Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end,
if not always in the way we expect.

Yes the date is finally here, the date of the merge. We will start on it this weekend. So from May 26th till 28th we will run the merge. The board will get closed down for a few days but we all hope you'll keep checking back and be with us when we open up again.

yes, wow, we're actually back up and running already. That is because we spent the entire day today working to get both boards merged and up and running again. The result, you're looking at it now. You will find a few subtle changes made to MS, and if you came from HFC, you'll find a lot.

Anyway, let me sum up a few things. At first, the membership deal:

You were a member on MS before but never on HFC.
Nothing changes for you. You keep your old username and password and log in as if nothing changed.

You were a member on HFC but never on MS.
Well, things do change for you then. You still retain your old username and password, unless you were one of the very few people with a username already taken on HFC. You're currently running around with a name we had to edit:

You were NightFire on HFC, then you are now NightFire2.
You were Phoenix on HFC, then you are now Phoenix2.
You were Primeval on HFC, then you are now Primeval2.
You were Raptured on HFC, then you are now Raptured2.

We are waiting to hear from you for a possible name change.
Anyway, furthermore. If you were a contributor on HFC, you will see you retained your status and we did add your remaining credits over here. Most of the schemes from HFC have been moved to MS, and we are going to work on adding X-Men avatars to the avatar gallery soon. You will find that RPGs from HFC (Genesis and The Summoning) were moved here as well, and all of your characters and character images were ported over as well. X-Men talk will now take place in The Altar, which is a sub-forum that is about X-Men only.

You were a member on BOTH boards.
Your old HFC account was merged into your MS one. Use your MS username and password to log in. For you also counts that any remaining avatar credit you had on HFC for a contribution was added over here.

So, there is probably a lot more you're wondering about. Every question is welcome, since the objective today was to bring the board back up, so we might have overlooked a thing or two. Please help us find them, so we can fix them ASAP.

Sincerely,The joined staff of MS and HFC.

This announcement is cross posted in the FAQ and we will try update the FAQ with questions asked as guests cannot view thread content. Please link anyone who's asking you for help to the FAQ item or to the Contact Us form.

Yes, and if that wasn't enough, theres a bunch of new schemes now available on MS.org. For once, go check out the amazing that Aodhán (Narcissus) made for Eternal Conflict. It features a stunning header and dark reds and greens.

Furthermore, there is the X3: The Movie scheme, which was brought over from HFC. Also work by Aodhán (Narcissus) with coding by Chrissie (Menefer).

And if you are a contributor, you will find most of the HFC schemes at your disposal now.
